1998 ISUZU TROOPER battery replacement

GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and chock the
front or rear wheels before lifting the vehicle.
2. Use covers on the vehicle body, seats, and
floor to prevent damage and/or
contaminations.
3. Disconnect the grounding cable from the
battery before performing service operations.
This will prevent cable damage or burning due
to shortcircuiting.
4. Raise the vehicle with a jack set against the
recommended lifting points (see ÒLifting
instructionsÓ in this section).
5. Support the vehicle on chassis stands.
6. Handle brake fluid and antifreeze solution with
great care.
Spilling these liquids on painted surfaces will
damage the paint.
7. The use of the proper tool(s) and special tool(s)
where specified is essential to efficient,
reliable, and safe service operations.
8. Always use genuine ISUZU replacement parts.
9. Discard used cotter pins, gasket, plastic clips,
O-rings, oil seals, lock washers, and self-
locking nuts at disassembly.
Normal function of these parts cannot be
guaranteed if they are reused.
10. Keep the disassembled parts neatly in groups.
This will facilitate smooth and correct
reassembly.11. Keep fixing nuts and bolts separate.
Fixing nuts and bolts vary in hardness and
design according to installation positions.
12. Clean all parts before inspection or
reassembly.
13. Clean the oil ports and other openings with
compressed air to make certain that they are
free of dirt and obstructions.
14. Lubricate the rotating and sliding faces of all
moving parts with oil or grease before
installation.
15. Use the recommended liquid gasket to prevent
leakage.
16. Carefully observe all nut and bolt torque
specifications.
17. When service operation is completed, make a
final check to be sure service has been done
properly and problem has been corrected.
18. When removing or replacing parts that require
refrigerant to be discharged from the air
conditioning system, be sure to use the
following tools to recover and recycle the
Refrigerant-134a (R-134a).
For 134a:
Use the R-134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recovery/
Recycling/Recharging/System (ACR
4) or its
equivalent to prevent the discharge of
refrigerant into the air.

PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF
AIR CONDITIONING PARTS
There are certain procedure, practices and precautions
that should be followed when servicing air conditioning
systems:
·Keep your work area clean.
·Always wear safety goggle and protective gloves
when working on refrigerant systems.
·Beware of the danger of carbon monoxide fumes
caused by running the engine.
·Beware of discharged refrigerant in enclosed or
improperly ventilated garages.
·Always disconnect the negative battery cable and
discharge and recover the refrigerant whenever
repairing the air conditioning system.
·When discharging and recovering the refrigerant, do
not allow refrigerant to discharge too fast; it will draw
compressor oil out of the system.
·Keep moisture and contaminants out of the system.
When disconnecting or removing any lines or parts,
use plugs or caps to close the fittings immediately.
Never remove the caps or plugs until the lines or
parts are reconnected or installed.
·When disconnecting or reconnecting the lines, use
two wrenches to support the line fitting, to prevent
from twisting or other damage.
·Always install new O-rings whenever a connection is
disassembled.
·Before connecting any hoses or lines, apply new
specified compressor oil to the O-rings.
·When removing and replacing any parts which
require discharging the refrigerant circuit, the
operations described in this section must be
performed in the following sequence:

4) Disconnect the yellow 2way SRS connector located
under the steering column. CAUTION:
Once the steering column is removed from the vehicle, the column is extremely suspectible to
damage. Dropping the column assembly on its end could collapse the steering shaft or loosen the
slide block which maintains column rigidity. Leaning on the column assembly could cause the jacket
to bend or deform. Any of the above damage could impair the column's collapsible design. If it is
necessary to remove the steering wheel, use only the specified steering wheel puller. Under no
conditions should the end of the shaft be hammered upon, as hammering could loosen slide block
which maintains column rigidity.
